FROM THIS EPISODE

Acclaimed singer Kassé Mady Diabaté is one of the most recognized voices of West Africa and a descendant of the distinguished griot family of the ancient Manding Empire. His people still mediate for social order and the song "Ko Kuma Magni" is good advice as it translates to "It's Not Good to Gossip." It's from the CD, Kirike.
